TESTIMONIALS

My Reviews

Role: Junior Software Engineer at Brainbase

"Keep up the good work, overall I'm impressed. We've leaned on you pretty hard for the Vault MVP and hopefully we can give you more time to develop your skills."

Will Bowman | Director of Engineering, Brainbase
Role: Junior Software Engineer at Brainbase

"I've seen a huge improvement in Hallie's code quality as of late. In this last cycle her bug count was virtually O and we were able to really rely on her as a solid pillar for our team. She has digested every learning material we've provided and has put it into practice. Not only has her code quality improved, but her speed and overall understanding has increased and I feel it's time to say she's no longer a junior. I see nothing but a bright future for her as a dev. Very proud."

Rob Gungor | Frontend Manager & Team Lead, Brainbase
Role: Student at UC Berkeley Full-Stack Coding Bootcamp

"Hallie and I worked closely together developing Full-Stack applications, she's designed polished front end web applications while incorporating intricate relationships in her database. Being a quick learner her skills and communication make her an amazing person to work with. She will fit in on any team and work until the job is done.""

Adam Leher | Classmate, UC Berkeley
Role: Student at UC Berkeley Full-Stack Coding Bootcamp

"I worked with Hallie on a group project for the UC Berkeley Coding Bootcamp developing an application that locates foster pets in need of homes. She is a responsive communicater and works well in a group setting, making her very easy to work with. She knows how to take on initiative and provided a strong presence in the front-end development of our application."

Christopher Celestino | Team Member, UC Berkeley
Role: Digital Marketing Coordinator at Mopro

"I had the pleasure of working with Hallie at Mopro, overseeing her as her Manager. She was a Digital Marketing Coordinator on the first team that I oversaw. From the beginning she stood out of a pack of 40 new hires. Hallie goes above and beyond in all aspects. No work was too much for her to handle. She took on all tasks and duties with a smile and always over delivered. Hallie was able to quickly adapt to new processes and workflows that were implemented daily. Any company would be lucky to have such a hard working individual on their team!"

Jessica Vaughn | Enterprise Manager, Mopro
Role: Digital Marketing Coordinator at Mopro

"I was offered the opportunity to upgrade my website by Mopro, and although persistent I never felt pressured. However I did, and I am so so glad I did! My website looks incredible and I will take part of the credit because you have a person that works with you to create exactly what you want...that person for me was Hallie Calhoun and SHE WAS AMAZING! She listened and built, listened and changed, listened and added; doing what I wanted only with her magic and adding features she thought would enhance it and it did! She was patient and involved, I truly cannot say enough about how awesome she was!"

Bill Morgan | Client, Mopro
Graphic Designer & Marketing Coordinator at Berkshire Hathaway

"I oversee both the Mission Viejo and the Ladera Ranch offices at Berkshire Hathaway. I am based in Mission Viejo so I had to have a lot of trust in Hallie to ensure that the Ladera Ranch office ran smoothly and without problems. The Real Estate Agents in the office adored her and were very sad to see her leave. I found her to be a huge asset to the office. She was punctual, reliable, and all around a pleasure to have in the office. Hallie is a talented Graphic Designer, Marketing Coordinator, Admin Assistant, and was always willing to help with any projects the agents needed. I was very sad to see her leave."

Ellen Hunter | Office Administrator, Berkshire Hathaway
